Riide E-bike Rental Program

If you’re e-bike-curious and want to see how one will fit into your life or just don’t have the up-front capital to buy an e-bike, Riide has a solution: rent an e-bike by the month. The company only one eponymous model. It's lighter than most at around 40 pounds, can go up to 20 miles per hour, and has a battery charge that lasts 25 miles, while taking only two hours to re-charge. It also comes in badass black. Renting the Riide gives you your own Riide electric bike, theft insurance, a charger and lock, unlimited maintenance (in Washington, DC and San Francisco, CA only, sadly), but it does involve a 12-month commitment. After two years, you can upgrade to the latest model and keep renting, or stop paying rent and own the Riide.
